2. Are there any self-diagnostic items, other than those relating to CAN communication system, in the self-
diagnosis results?
If YES, GO TO 3.
If NO, GO TO 4.
3. Based on self-diagnosis results unrelated to CAN communication, carry out the inspection.
4. Malfunctions may be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control units carrying out CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, erase the self-diagnosis results.
5. Diagnose CAN communication system. Refer to LAN-44, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" .
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS006LA
During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may be heard from
engine compartment. This is normal due to the self check operation.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnosis. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid
leaks.
If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
If there is a radio, antenna or related wiring near the control module, ABS function may have a malfunction
or error.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.
Precautions for CAN SystemEFS006LB
Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to terminal to be measured.
Maximum open terminal voltage of tester in use must be less than 7.0V.
Before checking harnesses, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative cable.
Area to be repaired must be soldered and wrapped with tape.
Make sure that fraying of twisted wire is within 110 mm (4.33 in).
Do not make a bypass connection to repaired area. (If the circuit
is bypassed, characteristics of twisted wire will be lost.)

Aiming AdjustmentEKS00HXJ
The front fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing
aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
Place vehicle on level surface.
Set that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver’s position).
Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting screw (A).
1. Set the distance (C) between the screen and the center of front
fog lamp lens (E) as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps (1) to ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge
of the high intensity zone (A) is as shown.
NOTE:
When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite front fog lamp.
Bulb ReplacementEKS00HXK
1. Turn lighting switch OFF.
2. Turn off the fender protector (front) to obtain work space
between the fender protector and fender.
3. Disconnect front fog lamp connector (1).
4. Turn bulb socket (2) counterclockwise unlock and remove it.
5. Remove bulb from its socket.
